"He fell into the water! Hurry up and save him!"
"It's the girl from the Shen family, hurry up and save her!"
"Look at the clothes, it seems to be Shen Jiachunmiao..."
"thump……"
After hearing Chen Chunmiao's name, a military green figure rushed out and jumped straight into the river.
Fortunately, the river was not very turbulent, and Huo Beichuan did not have to spend much effort to pull the person out.
"Hiss...why, why is it Jin Tao?"
"It's over. The one who saved people was Beichuan..."
"This is bad news. How can we explain it clearly after we rescued him from the water, hugged him, and touched him? But Beichuan is Chunmiao's boyfriend..."
Chen Jintao just felt dizzy and completely lost consciousness after hearing these few comments.
…
"I won't marry him! He's already hugged Chen Jintao, I don't want this man anymore!!"
Chen Chunmiao was throwing things around at home. "I knew Chen Jintao was not a good person. Maybe she had been eyeing Huo Beichuan for a long time and was just waiting for such an opportunity. Otherwise, how could she fall into the river by such a coincidence?"
Xu Xuemei felt pain in her heart after hearing this, "Chun Miao, how can you say that? How did Taozi know that Huo Beichuan would be back today? If she did it on purpose, why didn't she jump into the pond instead of the river? If she wasn't careful, she would have been dead, and you, as her sister, are still here making sarcastic remarks. Don't be so bullying!"
"What? Sister-in-law, your precious boy is still saying that he is so amazing? I really don't know what he is planning. He is not afraid of being struck by lightning for stealing his cousin's fiancé!"
Shen Chunmiao's mother Xie Lanzhi was not to be outdone.
"What are you arguing about? It's already happened. Let's wait until Huo Beichuan comes. We must give our family an explanation for this matter."
Mr. Shen grumbled angrily.
Now everyone was quiet, but no one noticed the gleam of success in Shen Chunmiao's eyes.
Huo Beichuan really came, and brought some gifts. When he saw Chen Chunmiao, he was a little embarrassed, "Sorry!"
Chen Chunmiao said nothing, but showed his dissatisfaction on his face.
"What happened today was an accident." Huo Beichuan explained after greeting the elders of the Shen family one by one, "The situation was critical at the time. I would have saved anyone no matter who it was. And I only pulled the person ashore. I hope you can understand."
"Just pulled her ashore? We all have eyes. When Chen Jintao was rescued, her whole body was clinging to you. Huo Beichuan, do you dare to say that you are innocent?" Shen Chunmiao said sharply.
Huo Beichuan frowned. He was a soldier of the people. When faced with such a situation, he didn't care about gender, but others didn't think so.
"I don't care, I won't marry you anyway!" Shen Chunmiao screamed.
When Xie Lanzhi heard this, she quickly pulled Chen Chunmiao away.
She was very optimistic about this son-in-law. Although his family conditions were average, he was now a battalion commander and received a considerable allowance every month. Such good conditions were hard to find even with a lantern.
"What are you talking about? Beichuan is anxious to save people..."
"Mom! I said I don't want to get married!" Chen Chunmiao screamed, "If you insist on forcing me, I'd rather die!"
Shen Chunmiao was resolute in his attitude.
Huo Beichuan nodded and said, "Since you don't want to, let's cancel the engagement. I will compensate you."
Then he looked at Xu Xuemei and Shen Jianmin, "Uncle and aunt, I will be responsible for Shen Jintao in this matter. If you agree, I want to marry her."
"This..." Xu Xuemei frowned, "It depends on whether Jintao is willing to do this."
Everyone in the family knew that Chen Jintao liked Lu Qingshan, and she was afraid that she would not be willing to marry Huo Beichuan. Xu Xuemei felt overwhelmed.
Chen Chunmiao naturally thought of this, "Auntie, you don't expect Chen Jintao to marry Brother Qingshan, do you? Brother Qingshan won't like a slut who has been touched by someone!"
"Pa!" Xu Xuemei slapped her directly, shaking with anger. "You damn girl, if you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart, do you believe me?"
As soon as Xie Lanzhi saw her daughter being beaten, she rushed over and the scene became chaotic in an instant.
Chen Jintao propped herself up and sat up. Her head still hurt badly, and her whole body ached as if it had been run over by a car.
She looked at everything in front of her and realized that she was reborn.
In her previous life, she married Lu Qingshan, the educated youth she had always loved, as she wished.
But after marriage, Lu Qingshan was always cold and never touched her.
Later, she focused on making money and, taking advantage of the reform and opening-up policy, she opened a small restaurant, which she eventually expanded into a national chain.
People outside said that she lived the life of a rich lady because of Lu Qingshan, and that although she was unable to bear children, Lu Qingshan always treated her as before. But only she knew the pain in her heart.
Lu Qingshan married her only because her grandfather was the captain of the team and he wanted to get a place to return to the city through this marriage.
At this moment, her mind was a little confused, and she didn't know what day it was, until she heard someone outside shouting, "Grandpa! Come quickly, Grandpa has fainted!"
She didn't care about anything else, and forced herself to get out of bed. She staggered open the door, and saw that the main room was full of people.
Mr. Shen had been helped to a chair. He was awake but not very energetic. He pointed at everyone in the hall with trembling fingers and said, "If you want to make trouble, get out of here. Taozi is still sick. What are you thinking of doing?"
The old man's gaze finally fell on the second family, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Grandpa!" Shen Jintao shouted hoarsely.
Everyone looked over when they heard her voice. Xu Xuemei quickly supported the man and said, "Why did you get up? Don't you know you still have a fever?"
Shen Jintao shook her head and her eyes fell on Shen Chunmiao.
Chen Chunmiao avoided her gaze guiltily. For some reason, she felt a little scared from the bottom of her heart when facing Shen Jintao's eyes.
"I fell into the water because Shen Chunmiao pushed me!"
Shen Jintao's voice was hoarse and calm, but the words she spoke were like thunder out of the blue.
